and i'm a big space geek. i love that. we'll see you back here tomorrow. "in the arena" starts right now. >>> good evening and welcome. i'm tom foreman. tonight we are getting mixed signals about a possible back room deal on the debt ceiling just hours away from what president obama at least at one point called a deadline for a decision. "the new york times" says president obama and the republican speaker of the house john boehner are close to an agreement. roughly it would involve $3 trillion in cuts and an eventual overhaul of the entire tax system. here's the catch, though. other sources are shooting down the idea that this is even happening as fast and hard as they can. listen to boehner himself earlier today on rush limbaugh's radio show. >> rush, there is no deal. no deal publicly, no deal privately. there is absolutely no deal. >> no deal, no deal, no deal. now, here's the white house spokesman jay carney. >> there is no deal. we are not close to a deal. we are -- obviously, the president is in discussions with all the leaders of congress as well as

" too big to jail as well. if you take that money from working people and say you're important enough to keep, you who are blue collar work in the factories, you aren't, you're not only gutting your manufacturing base at a time china is ready to pass us, you're also saying to them some citizens are more important than others and i fundamentally reject that. >> let's do real world play acting. you're the president right now, you're facing this holding on the debt ceiling right now, what would you do differently than this president or anybody else to solve this problem? >> first, the hypothetical doesn't work because i didn't go on a two year spending binge when i controlled everything. secondly i control cap and balance the republicans alternative to this and i add we have to have a balanced budget amendment submitted to the states. if you listen to the american public, they're very concerned about this and rightly so. they also never want to be in this position again, i would argue cut cap balance and long term

. >> reporter: let's not mix a lot of different things into one big pot. the poll you referred to was a poll that was done the day after dominique strauss-kahn's arrest. it was a poll that was faultily done. it was declared illegal and done as people were still trying to adjust and absorb the reality that one of the most powerful men in the world who could have been president could have committed such a crime as he was about to announce his nomination. so, i disregard the importance of that poll that said early on that a majority of the french thought that he might have been the victim of a plot. as for france having different sexual morays, seduction is not criminality, seduction is playful, should be enjoyable. committing a violent crime against a woman which was what was alleged to have happened is appalling for any french person. and so one has to make that distinction. what is the bridge between seduction and a violent crime is the potential abuse of power which is -- which is also something that is endemic in french life. >> you make a point that's w

i do not think they can get the big mega deal the president is talking about. i think they are going to have a hard time getting a mid sized deal. i think they can come up with a short term, interim package in which it requires some compromise by democrats and republicans. but the president has to compromise too. if the choice is between a default and a short term deal, there's no question he ought to go for the short term deal. >> i'm not sure these guys can figure out how to pay a parking ticket. james, you are the brilliant strategist here. one of my concerns out, and you tell me if i'm crazy. it seems to me like both sides are banking on winning, that they're going to be able to prove to everybody that they really were willing to do something and it was the other side that kept it from going forward, that they're going to win with their base. >> as far as david and senator simpson did a good job. they were calling for one-third in tax increases. what the republicans turned out and the president was talking about something between 20 and 25%. they couldn't e
